Oxygen will enter circulatory system from alveoli.
Explanation:
Air is breathed in through external nares and it travels along 'respiratory tree':- at the end of a highly branched respiratory tract air enters alveoli. Wall of alveoli is thin, surrounded by capillary network across which diffusion of gases can take place.
